Cappuccino small, medium or large?

Bild
This is a cafe in Sweden. The mugs show how big size you can choose your cappuccino. If you choose the bigger sizes you are not getting a cappuccino. You get a coffee with milk and some skimmed milk on top. The correct ratio of coffee, milk and skimmed milk get lost in the bigger size cups. In Italy there is no choice of cups, you get a cappuccino.

Cappuccino

If I order a cappuccino in Sweden or Italy I will not get the same cappuccino. In Italy if I order a cappuccino I will get the cappuccino in a cup which is approximately the same size anywhere in Italy with the correct proportion of coffee, steamed milk and frothed milk. What will happen if I order a cappuccino in Sweden? First I have to choose the size of the cappuccino, medium or large. There is not usually any small cappuccinos in Sweden. Then the bartender will probably ask if I want a single or a double, this will never happen in Italy. When you get the cappuccino, the cup is so much bigger than anything you would get in Italy. Finally the proportions of coffee, milk and frothed milk is completely unbalanced, since in Sweden they don't understand that cappuccino is about proportions. Not just coffee with steamed milk and some frothed milk on top. A cappuccino at Pasticceria Pistone in Bologna.
